A thread for exploring, and celebrating, the gradual but hastening fall of the United Empire of America.
>b-bu'muh /USApol/!
This thread doesn't focus on internal or electoral news and politics. Yes, the two consecutive demented presidents are relevant but we're looking outward at the international signs of decline.
>g2/prc/
This thread wants to explore beyond just China, Russia, ZR, etc., show us the deserted corners of the empire too.
Bring your:
- shifting international polls
- seaplanes
- estranged former 'allies'
- aid AIDS
to me the biggest sign of burger reich decline is that it has to choose between currency hegemony and reindustrialization. it cannot have both.
quote from another thread:
<America's currency hegemony and world reserve currency status depends on the debt being unpaid, and the debt being unpaid depends on the trade deficit, and the trade deficit depends on importing more than we export, and that depends on deindustrialization. Trump wants to reindustrialize, but he also wants currency hegemony. He can't have both. He has to pick between one or the other. He cannot be a neo-mercantilist advocate of reindustrialization, and an advocate of America's currency hegemony at the same time. The British and Dutch were also vanquished by this same crisis of hegemony. This is why China, at least the smarter officials in China, don't want to inherit America's unipolar imperial hegemony. It is a poison pill which destroys you in the long run. Multipolarity may prove to be unstable for different reasons, but unipolar hegemony is already proven to be unstable.
